LightLCD & Adafruit_GFX comparison #2

Open slavkoja opened 9 years ago

slavkoja commented 9 years ago

I did some comparison the LightLCD's and the Adafruit's SSD1306 implementation and usage. You can see the result in http://ard.slavino.sk/lightlcd.pdf. My English is not best, then text can need some tweaks ;-)

Please, note, it is simple print from webbrowser, then some ugly formation (as page breaks) is there.

I can provide, of course, the source of it, it is written in RestructuredText format with Sphinx-doc. We can to negotiate another format of the source.

BTW i updated the PDF file with better formating...

Thanks for the comparison. As said before, it's lighter because it's simpler, nothing more ;). I implemented only the functions I needed, but this does not mean that what's missing can be added in the future. For example, drawing a bitmap would not be so much different from drawing a char. The same stands for the dimming on ssd1306: it should be just a matter of knowing to which register of the screen to write to, and what value it accepts. Unlikely I'm busy with other projects, so it would be hard for me to add this features right now, but every pull request or such is welcome! Maybe in a near future I'll get an ILI9163C lcd too!

:-) It was not intended as features request, only comparison with my personal point of view. And i disagree with you, it is light at all - by features of course, but as well by memory consumption too! I decided to compare it, because i often meet projects named light, but in result these "light" projects are bigger than original and this is not your case! You did great job, dear!

BTW, the PDF is on my temporary space and it will be deleted after some time.
